ACUMED Ankle 3 Plating System
The Acumed Ankle Plating System 3 is designed to provide a variety of fixation options for fractures of the distal tibia and fibula. Designed in conjunction with Anish Kadakia, M.D. and Bruce Ziran, M.D., the system is composed of seven plate families designed specifically for the treatment of ankle fractures.
The indication-specific plates address fracture patterns of the medial, lateral, and posterior malleoli. Specialized plate features and unique instrumentation address disruption of the syndesmosis. 4.0 mm cannulated screws in lengths of 36 mm, 42 mm, and 48 mm are also included in the tray for the treatment of medial malleolar fractures.
The Ankle Plating System 3 is used in combination with the Acumed Small Fragment Base Set. The Small Fragment Base Set includes One-Third Tubular Plates, as well as cut-to-length and bend-to-fit 2.7 mm L-shaped, T-shaped, and straight Fragment Plates that can also be used to address ankle fractures.
The 2.7 mm and 3.5 mm locking, nonlocking, and variable angle hexalobe screws, 4.0 mm fully threaded and partially threaded cancellous hexalobe screws, and universal instrumentation are all housed in the Small Fragment Base Set. A selection of Tension Band Pins and AcuTwist Compression Screws are also included in the tray.
